Liz is working on a fun project for her laptop, and needed to gather some supplies today. So… the two of us spent a bit of time roaming the aisles over at the local Jo-Ann Fabrics. Thankfully, this time I didn’t lose my wallet.
Yikes. Haven’t had one of these in a while. Not much going on, but a lot of planning for stuff in the interim.
I bought a microphone (Sony ECMMS907) to go along with the minidisc player that Liz gave to me (gotta love Amazon Prime and next day shipping). Thanks to Chelsea and Hillary, who both helped me with my “what mic should I get” questions. While I didn’t go with anything near as fancy as Hillary’s gear,…

There was a nice burst of sunlight this afternoon, and I decided to break out the camera for a few shots of the work mural. In hindsight, I wish I had been taking some time lapse of this thing, but work on it is fairly erratic. Folks usually just wander by and doodle a little…
Tonight, I went through a ton of photos from the past year or so… and updated my photo gallery. Feel free to take a peek. Like all the photos in the gallery, each one links back to a specific blog entry.
Sorry for the blatant YouTubery, but I haven’t been around a computer to do many updates. Below are a few videos of Adam Fulura, who is pretty spectacular with the guitar tapping. Some of you might recognize the music in the first video (I did an experiment a few years back, using the same Bach…
